Since I won't do what my doctor says...?

That sucks. But you do know that Lupron only temporarily induces menopause, right? So you just have this chemical menopause for a few months? I ume so, but you didn't specify so I wanted to make sure. Did the doc explain why and how Lupron is used to treat endo? See, by giving Lupron, they hope to starve out the endometrial implants so that they die and don't grow back. That's why they just give them for a short while. But often they precede Lupron with surgery to remove the implants that you have to increase chances that they will be gone forever. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that that works all that well. I think it's wise to get another opinion--there are docs out there who are very knowledgable about endo who you can consult. I wish I had your confidence in standing up to an doc when I was 20! See if you can find an endo expert. And join some endo support groups on the web. Good luck!
